What was done?

Long-established partnerships with many employers and industry have been maintained but many new added and those from the pupil-led Alumni are showing great signs of promise. They also integrate across a network of local colleges and training providers.

Why?

capitalise on the flexibility Curriculum for Excellence provides and embrace Developing the Young Workforce by establishing a range of regional, national and global partnerships which give young people insight into and meaningful experience of the world of work."

What was the impact?

Skills development covers S1-S6 and launched with a 'Skills for the 21st Century programme' used with all S1 pupils and involves identification of key skills developed through curricular areas.

As well as a focus on skills for employability, the school also has a strong focus on growth mind-set approaches for staff and pupils and some work with parents. This includes health and wellbeing indicators across some curricular areas but is having a clear impact on developing the four capacities in pupils, notably successful learners and confident individuals. Pupil feedback is hugely positive on the impact of growth mind-set approaches in learning.
